Another trip to the thrift store, another percolator that I couldn't pass up.
It seems like no collection is complete without at least one Farberware Superfast.
So, today, I got one. It's a 12 cup version. On the bottom, where it says "Model", it has J6 and 142B.
I don't have pictures yet, because she's dirty. I'm thinking this one might be a good candidate for the dishwasher detergent cleaning! It's not disgusting inside, but it's definitely stained. And, being all stainless, I'm thinking it should come out good!
I do have one question, right off the bat. On the stem, or perk tube, I usually see them with some sort of coating on the lower half. Some, I've seen with chunks missing. Well, mine is completely missing.
Is it still okay to use it without that coating, or should I start searching eBay for a replacement part?
Okay...two questions.
Y'all have mentioned powdered dishwasher detergent, or a pod. All I currently have on hand is Cascade liquid. Do you think that would work, or should I get something in powder or pods? If so, what brand do you recommend?
Thank you again!
